Five senior three graduates want to travel to Phoenix, and ask for directions on maps and routes to Phoenix and its surrounding areas.

It's also good to be liberated after the college entrance examination. While traveling, you should consider the problem of volunteering. I've been there before, and I understand this feeling. Hehe ... I still wish you a good grade and have fun.

I went there in May to make a survey on the tourism planning of Phoenix, and provided some experience, hoping to give you some help.

1. Travel route

It is recommended to take the train, and you may be able to meet some like-minded friends on the train. More importantly, hehe, it is more affordable for students.

if you choose the direction of Jishou or Huaihua by train (sorry, because I don't know your departure location, I can't provide the specific train number and time), sit at Jishou Railway Station, and then get off and leave the station.

Special recommendation: Generally, you can see Miao girls playing Miao drums and welcoming guests in Jishou Railway Station, who are from Dehang Scenic Area. There is no charge for the performance at the railway station, so you can enjoy it for a while.

After arriving at Jishou Railway Station, you can see the CMB going directly to Dehang or Fenghuang. The fare to Phoenix is around 15 yuan (to correct the statement on the first floor, the ticket is not as cheap as 3-4 yuan), and it can be reached in an hour and a half, and all the way is paved with asphalt, so you don't feel bumpy.

2. Local accommodation

There are many diaojiao buildings along the Tuojiang River. In order to watch the night view of the Tuojiang River at night, you can stay there, about 7-8 yuan for one night (off-season). You can't see Tuojiang's cheaper, you can ask the place. Generally, there is no single room in a house, but a room with 2-3 beds, 2-3 yuan/bed, with air conditioning (the boss will charge extra for air conditioning, please discuss it in advance) and a separate bathroom. It is suggested to compare several companies before making a decision. House prices will increase during holidays or weekends, so be prepared.

Generally, it's very cheap to eat in small shops. You can eat rice noodles for breakfast at 3 yuan a bowl, while special dishes such as blood-baked duck and pickled fish hot pot are more expensive, which is only 28-35 yuan. See what kind of restaurant you eat in. You can try the restaurant recommended upstairs, but you should bring enough money in your pocket.

The special snacks are sour radish, social rice, Tongye Baba, tasty snail and bean jelly. The barbecue on Hongqiao is also very good, with many varieties. The mutton skewers or beef skewers cost five yuan a handful (pocket-sized), and the taste is very punctual.

3. Visit scenic spots

You can buy a Phoenix tourist map "Wandering Phoenix" published by Hunan Fine Arts Publishing House in Phoenix for 4-5 yuan, and ask your boss to stamp several commemorative medals for you (be sure to specify different ones, or he will stamp the same ones for you). Then you can carry it around. Don't lose that map, it's also a good souvenir to take back. You can have a look at the information provided above. Food and accommodation are introduced.

To visit the ancient city, you can buy a package ticket or join a one-day tour of a local travel agency. (Note: It is free to visit the ancient city of Fenghuang, and tickets are only required to visit the eight scenic spots and the ten scenic spots of Fenghuang. There are two kinds of packages: Phoenix Eight Scenes Package: including Shen Congwen's former residence, Xiong Xiling's former residence, Yangjia Ancestral Hall, Dongmen Tower, Tuojiang River rafting, Hongqiao Second Floor, Chongdetang and Wanshou Palace. The fare is 138 yuan/person. Phoenix Ten Scenes Package: On the basis of the Eight Scenes of Phoenix, China Southern Great Wall, Qiliangdong and Huangsiqiao Ancient City in Tang Dynasty are added. The fare is 216 yuan/person. Remember, the Eight Scenes and Ten Scenes of Phoenix can enjoy a half-price discount with the student ID card. You can save some money. In addition, don't go to the ancient city of Huangsiqiao in the Ten Scenes. Although it is of some value, it is not well managed now, and it will be very disappointing to go. ) Some toll attractions are not necessarily worth seeing. It is suggested that you don't buy a package ticket, but turn around yourself. The ancient city is so big that you can turn around, and there is no tour guide who always urges you to hurry.

There will be many people dragging you to take photos in miao clothing at Tiaoyan. Just rent clothes and take photos of 2-3 yuan by yourself. If you let them take photos, it will be 5 yuan/photo. In fact, the calculation is also cost-effective. People are old photographers who have taken photos for many years. They are much more sophisticated in taking pictures of light than you, and the photos they take are naturally beautiful. You can also ask them to help you process it into a card size that can be put in your wallet, and it is resistant to collection, but this will cost more money.

The second floor of Hongqiao is a teahouse, and it is also a good place to enjoy the scenery.

there are two stages to choose from for boating on the Tuojiang River. The boat trip by the travel company is from Tiaoyan to Shen Congwen's cemetery, and you can buy tickets at the North Gate Tower (Tiaoyan). Although the trip is short, it is the most intense part of Xiangxi. Take a private boat from Shen Congwen's cemetery to Taohua Island (a newly opened tourist spot, you need to get tickets to 2 yuan, and there are many peach trees on the island, so you can watch and participate in Miao custom performances), 7-8 yuan per person. The river is very shallow, so you can experience the feeling of rowing with an oar, or you can let the boatman come to a folk song, or you can sing with tourists from other ships. In summer, people between ships will also have a water fight, so be fully prepared for protection.

There is also rafting outside the city. On the way to Phoenix, you can see that it is around 11 yuan.

There are many privately developed Miao villages around, and the quality is uneven. It's good to go there and experience the customs of Miao Village. Recommended: Laozhai, Duluo Zhai and Shanjiang Miao Village. There are many ticket agencies in the city, so you can negotiate with them in Kan Kan.

In the evening, you can go to Hongqiao Bridge to have supper. There are many kinds and everything. You can also buy a few dollars of wishing lamps on the edge of Tuojiang River and put them in the river to make your good wishes (every time I see a cleaner salvaging the "wreckage" of the wishing lamps in the morning, I think this wonderful activity is quite frustrating and damaging to the environment). If you want to try the bar style, there are many bars along the Tuojiang River. Just find one that feels good. There will be a party in the city in the evening, about 6 yuan/people.

4. Shopping

I don't recommend specific stores, so as not to say that I am advertising at the expense of others. Locals are easier to talk to.

Generally speaking, there are batiks and embroidery, silver ornaments (both worn and decorated), bone carvings, root carvings, pyrography, sand paintings, and many books and postcards describing Xiangxi.

We have eaten ginger candy (the ginger candy recommended upstairs is really good, but the price is a little more expensive than other places, because people are famous brands, hehe), twisted candy, dried kiwi fruit, sugar ginger, and blood-soaked duck (vacuum-packed).

if you drink wine, weigh it by the catty, and then buy other utensils (such as gourd or bamboo tube) to pack it.

5. Items you need to bring

Needless to say, personal items, cash (there are very few places where you can swipe your card), camera, toiletries and clothes change. When summer comes, you still have to bring an umbrella. The rain in the mountain city will last forever. There are also care products with sunscreen (it's up to you whether boys want to bring them or not).

I'll arrange the rest by myself, and the expenses of Phoenix (including the basic six items of food, housing, travel, shopping and entertainment) are probably enough (not the top consumption level, of course).

My personal opinion is not authoritative and is for reference only. I just want to make more friends.
